Context This was a scheduled compensation settlement (RSU cliff vesting after a performance period), not an open‑market buy or sale. Awards like this reflect prior grants and meeting performance conditions; they are routine executive compensation events and should not be interpreted alone as a direct buy/sell signal. The shares were delivered net of tax withholding per the plan.
